SimuTerra (Wondering about the SimuTerra plugin for SketchUp? If you haven't already done so in the past, make sure you're on our mailing list, by clicking on "Download Installer" or "Join mailing list" on the left, and submitting the form. An alpha version might be posted here by early November.) QUOTE: "Without your tool, this task would have been nearly impossible and I would have spent countless hours trying to do it in SketchUp." QUOTE: "Well worth the cost of the software compared to the time I saved on this model alone." QUOTE: "I can really see this saving me DAYS off my models. QUOTE: "The price vs. performance is incredible." QUOTE: "I had used the [free CASF] topo Ruby [script] and it took overnight to generate a model that was way too big and I could not drape a map over it. Get the picture? "Just tried out SimuTerra and found it to be very fast and VERY accurate. SimuTerra is now available for both Macintosh and Windows. SimuTerra can also be a boon to designers. Free download, trial
CAD/PLM :: Articles :: SketchUp left Google to fall in love with BIM Articles 2 May 2012 Dmitry Ushakov On May, 26th, it was reported that SketchUp - a free and easy-to-learn software that made 3D modeling available to millions users worldwide, found a new owner. The first version of SketchUp appeared back in 2000. SketchUp developers demonstrated to the whole world how powerful and simple in usage direct modeling can be. Another advantage of SketchUp is its application programmer's interface available in Ruby - interpreted object-oriented programming language. Having won several prestigious awards, SketchUp attracted attention of an Internet giant Google, which acquired @Last Software in 2006. Google Earth The idea worked: nowadays it is practically impossible to find a city in Google Earth without 3D models of its most interesting buildings, bridges and other constructions created by numerous enthusiasts. Only in the past year the number of downloaded SketchUp copies reached 30 millions. Driving Dimensions plug-in for SketchUp Tekla Structures See also:

Google SketchUp is software that you can use to create 3D models of anything you like. Driving Dimensions for Google SketchUp exists in two versions: free and Pro. After a simple installation process, run SketchUp and find a new toolbar with Driving Dimensions. We prepared a set of sample models to play with. If you need additional assitance, please watch our video and text tutorials. The Driving Dimensions plug-in is powered by the LGS 3D variational engine and combines the flexibility of constraint-based geometric modeling with ease of use.
Amit’s Game Programming Information What’s on this page? I’m interested in producing complexity out of simple parts. This page contains bookmarks that I collected while working on games; I did not write most of the content linked from here. As a result the set of links here reflects the types of things I needed to know: only a few specific topics (not everything related to game programming), general ideas instead of platform-specific information (graphics, sound, compilers), and ideas and designs instead of source code (I find it easier to go from an idea to code than from code to an idea). Determining how to move around on a map is an interesting problem. These pages are about specific techniques for pathfinding and object movement: My current favorite algorithm is A*, because it can handle varying terrain costs well, and it seems to be faster than most graph searching algorithms. Code and Demos Many times I play a game and wish that the computer opponents were written better. What techniques are useful in game AI? Notices
Dynamic Component as Parametric Design Tool waving_surface_ver3_04.jpg Hi guys, As I said before I've come back with another 2 DC parametric models.They are very simple comparing with the ones I posted before.And I am conceiving something different in DC parametric model, I'll also introduce that here someday. Then enjoy DC parametric world again. waving_surface_ver3_01.jpg waving_surface_ver3_06.jpg waving_surface_ver3_08.jpg 스크린샷 2010-10-31 오후 3.24.00.png As you see the formula is very simple. I'll give some explanation of the key parts(or steps) of this formula. 1. Next one also has regular pattern but a little bit deformed. waving_surface_ver4_00.jpg waving_surface_ver4_01.jpg waving_surface_ver4_03.jpg waving_surface_ver4_05.jpg 스크린샷 2010-10-31 오후 5.24.48.png There are two differences to first one.In this case you should set the 'PosX' of 'half_cir' in formula.Then set 'LenX' accordance with PosX.I mean [Nth LenX] = [(N+1)th PosX] - [Nth PosX].The formula expressed in LenX of 'half_cir' means this. waving_surface_ver4_0.jpg
